We hope everyone had a lovely October break.   Practitioners are looking forward to working with the children in the new term.

At Forgewood Family Learning Centre we value the importance of outdoor learning and promote and encourage children to explore their natural environment everyday.

“Well constructed and well-planned outdoor learning helps develop the skills of enquiry, critical thinking and reflection necessary for our children to meet the social, economic and environmental challenges of life in the 21st century.  Outdoor learning connects children with the natural world and encourages lifelong involvement and activity in Scotland’s Outdoors”

Outdoor play during  Autumn and Winter  brings colder and wetter weather therefore can we remind you to ensure your child has a change of clothes  in their bag. This will allow your child to have their own clothes to change into as nursery have a very limited supply. Can we also ask children to bring their own wellingtons, hats, scarfs etc. to keep them warm and dry.
